ORDER
This 14th day of September 2015, it appears to the Court that:
(1) The appellant, Donna M. Smith, filed this appeal from the
Superior Court’s order of July 24, 2015, granting a writ of possession to the
appellee, Fannie Mae a/k/a Federal National Mortgage Association. The
July 24 order provided that “[t]he Rule to Show Cause shall be made
absolute on September 24, 2015, and the Writ of Possession shall issue
immediately thereafter.”
(2) On August 27, 2015, the Clerk issued a notice, by certified mail
and regular mail, directing Smith to show cause why this appeal should not
be dismissed for her failure to comply with Supreme Court Rule 42 when
taking an appeal from an apparent interlocutory order. Smith has not
responded to the notice to show cause within the required ten-day period.
Dismissal of the appeal is deemed to be unopposed.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules
3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr.
Chief Justice
